About this document

Denial of Audita Querela Petition by Scribd Government Docs is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Christopher Watkins filed a petition for a writ of audita querela requesting that his sentence be vacated and remanded for resentencing. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied the petition, as a writ of audita querela is not available to challenge a criminal sentence. While the court granted Watkins permission to proceed in forma pauperis, it ruled that the writ did not apply in this case based on prior precedent. The petition was denied without oral argument.
